Coloma reacted to questions regarding international human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin’s supposed offer of assistance for the former president. Alamuddin gained prominence after her engagement to Hollywood star George Clooney was announced.

Coloma insists the administration bears no ill will towards Arroyo, whom President Aquino has repeatedly criticized and accused of bad governance. “All that we have maintained all throughout our watch is that there is no ill will towards the former president and we are simply following the processes of law.”

Meanwhile, he kept Malacanang’s distance from the PCSO plunder case, which is reportedly beset with problems of lack of evidence and lack of witnesses.

It was reported that Arroyo’s bail bid may be granted in the end unless the prosecution can produce more witnesses.
